Well, this is a new story that I'm goona try out. It's been in my head for a while, so here it is!
“Trinity, Come down here at once. Your mother and I need to talk to you.” Called my dad from the dining room where he and my mom were sitting. Great, another “Family meeting” about how my grades are and how I need to stop hanging out with Adam, my bad boy boyfriend.
“Since this is your last year in high school, we believe that you are old enough to handle this. A long time ago, like my great grandfather, and another business made a deal, that they would partnership. And to make sure one business didn’t ruin the other, they arranged a marriage… They said that the next girl born in this family was to marry the man of the other family in the same age range. And you are the only girl that was ever born in this family…” My dad said in a strong voice.
I scoffed at their seriousness. “Good joke. I’m gonna go see Adam now.” And with that, I pushed away from the table and started to walk towards the front door. I could her my mother tell my father to do something, and go after me. Following that, I heard a chair move and footsteps.
“TRINITY CYDELL. GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE.” My dads voice boomed. Oh shit. I coward a little and froze. “I am serious. You will be having lunch with your fiancé noon tomorrow at the Bay. And you WILL NOT be continuing this relationship of yours with Adam.” Like hell I was. The Bay was a very prestigious upscale restaurant.
“Yeah, yeah.” I rolled my eyes. “I’m going to go see my boyfriend now…”And I turned on my heels and quickly ran out the door. I hopped in my Land Rover LR4 HSE LUX and sped out of the driveway.
Adams House was about 5 minutes away, in another rich neighborhood. I parked in his driveway and walked into his house.
“Hey babe! Glad to see you after a full 4 hours!” I scowled at him and plopped down next to him. “Well either someone is on their period or their parents really f*cked shit up.” I still said nothing and scowled. “I’m gonna go for the later option… What happened?”
“Well, my parents decided to tell me that I’m gonna get married…” I huffed, clearly not satisfied.
“Well shit. I guess they knew I was going to propose to you soon.” Adam said with a serious, worried look on his face.
I slapped his heavily muscled and tatted arm. “No, dipshit. I mean like I’m getting married. Like arranged marriage. I’m gonna be forced to marry some conceited asshole that gives a rat ass about me. I cant f*ucking wait.”
“They finally told you…” He said with a defeated look on his face.
“WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?! YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS AND NEVER TOLD ME?! YEAH, I LOVE YOU TOO.” I yelled as I jumped off of the couch. He knew about it this whole time? What other secrets was he hiding?
He looked at me with a sad look, “Yeah, I knew it since we met. Ever since my parents started to do business with yours. They saw how much we clicked and they tried to arrange our marriage, but they said it wasn’t going to happen, as you were already spoken for. But I really do love you and that’s why I’m in this relationship with you. Because I want to be able to have a great time with the love of my life and not just let her go because of something that was supposed to happen… But I want you to know that I really do love you and I’m always here for you. And I guess since you know, this should be a mutual agreement that we aren’t a couple anymore. I’m sorry babe. I’ll always love you and be here for you though we wont be together any more…” He said while grabbing my hands in his.
I didn’t know what to say. I learned that I was supposed to marry a man I didn’t know and my boyfriend that I loved so freaking much knew about it and is ‘mutually agreeing’ to not see eachother anymore. My life is so f*cked up.
In tears, I went to his room to get everything of mine out of there. I stayed here half of the time and I have heaps of clothes here. I took everything and shoved it in a bag that I had here, and ran back downstairs. He was at the door trying to stop me.
“Trinity. We can be like we were a day ago. The only thing different is we wont be officially together…” He said trying to convince me not to do this.
“No, Adam. I’ll know about the arrangement and so will you. I’m sorry.” More tears came pouring out of my eyes. I never showed emotions like this. Not even when my favorite dog Spanky died because my neighbor ran over him. I had to leave and leave fast.
I pushed past him and opened the door. I turned back to see his face with a few salty tears. I set down the bag outside the door and walked over to him. I grabbed his face and looked into his eyes. “I love you Adam Hennessy. But things have changed and I have to change so unfortunately I think I have to stop loving you.” I gave him a passionate kiss on the lips and he kissed me back, waiting as long as he could to break the kiss. After he broke the kiss, he gave me a long hug and kissed my forehead.
“I love you and that will never change, despite the circumstances, Trin. If you ever need someone, I’m always here for you.” He wiped off some tears from my face and I walked out of his house with tears flowing down my face. I put all of my clothes in the back seat and got in the drivers seat.
How could everything that has been so stable for 3 years be pulled out from under me with no warning? I swore to myself after losing my closest friend, that I’d never let another person into my life. But with Adam, it was so different.
Now I have no one, not even my parents. I texted my dad saying that I was going to be out until the end of the week, but I was still going to go to the lunch with my fiancé. I pulled out of Adams driveway and looked back at the door to see him sitting on the cobblestone steps hunched over with his head in his hands. Adam never shows any emotions, much like myself, hence the reason we stayed together for so long.
I went to our beach house that was 1.5 hours away. I got there and unzipped my bag from Adams, seeing all that I had left there. There was a few casual shirts, jeans and heels/boots. I also found one of his shirts that he gave me because it was my favorite. There was also some dressy clothes in there, consisting of blazers, blouses, button ups, pencil skirts, and maxi skirts. Holy hell. I had my own freaking wardrobe at his house…
I slipped on Adams shirt, and quickly fell asleep, thinking about how conceited and horrible my soon to be husband would be like.
